PlumeSIM®
PlumeSIM enables training of multiple personnel, allowing instructors to select the parameters for the activation of simulation instruments (including the type of threat, release/delivery of single and multiple sources and a full range of environmental conditions.) Instructors can also record the actions of trainees from a single location.
Planning Mode - the virtual radiation or chemical plume
Innovative system design permits the use of common file format map images and even ‘home made’ sketches of the proposed training area.
Easy to use menus enable the instructor to quickly set and adjust the source type(s), quantity, and the location and nature of the release source, as well as the desired environmental conditions.
PlumeSIM® allows you to define a plume or hotspot based upon variety of specific substances, CW agents, radionuclides or compounds, and to implement different release characteristics including duration, direction, persistence and deposition. Exercise parameters can be saved for repeating defined scenarios with absolute fidelity.
Table-top mode for CBRNe / HazMat training
Using simple gamepad controllers trainees are able to move themselves as icons around an on-screen display of the training area. The virtual plume scenario is activated, and subsequent ‘contact’ with a simulated agent will result in the appropriate activation of their simulation instruments which are connected to the control base by a short range radio link.
All student ‘movement’ is recorded in the session and can then be played back for analysis prior to departing for the field training area
